Introduction: The aim of this study was tostudy the pattern of foreign-body aspiration inthe tracheobronchial tree as well as the successrate of rigid bronchoscopy in children admittedto the National Center for Maternal and ChildHealth, Mongolia during 2012-2016.Materials and Methods: In this crosssectionaldescriptive study, the required datawere collected from the medical reports ofall children under the age of 13 years withsuspected foreign-body aspiration who wereadmitted and underwent explorative flexibleand rigid bronchoscopy during 2012-2016. Thedata was retrospective viewed.Results: Among 40 patients with aconfirmed aspiration, 57.5% (23) were malesand 42.5% (17) were females. 42.5% were1-3 years old. The most common complaints(symptoms) of patients were non-productivecough (82.5%), wheezing (52.5%) andrespiratory distress (22.5%). The mostfrequently aspirated foreign bodies were nuts(peanuts). In total, 57.5% of foreign bodieswere lodged in the right bronchial tree. In 100%of cases, the foreign body was completelyextracted by bronchoscope. The majority ofcases were admitted more than 24 hours afterthe occurrence of aspiration, and pneumoniawas the most common complication. In X-rayfindings Golitsknyekhta Yakobsona’s symptomswere in 10 /25%/ cases.Conclusion: Patient history, especiallyinitial suspicion of aspiration, coughing,wheezing and respiratory distress, can behelpful in the diagnosis of foreign-bodyaspiration. All foreign bodies were removed bybronchoscope /100%/ without complications.In X-ray findings Golitsknyekhta Yakobsona’ssymptoms were in 10 /25%/ cases.

Introduction: In our hospital we didfirst laparoscopic surgery in October 2013with doctors from Samsung Medical Center,Seoul, Korea. In NCMCH we did about 3000operations per year, and about 400 of themtakes inguinal hernia. Bilateral and unilateralbig hernias has a lot of complications,like swelling, recurrence etc. Goals andobjectives:comparison between LNAR andstandard open technique of hernia repair.Calculate the outcome, hospital stay,recurrence, complications.Materials and Methods: We describeour technique and experience with thelaparoscopic needle-assisted repair of inguinalhernia (LNAR). We report retrospectively 42cases (hernias) from September 2014 toDecember 2015. We have 2 groups. In firstgroup we did standard open hernia repair in23 (54,7%)cases, in second group we didLNAR in 19 (45,3%) cases. Hernia repairis accomplished with a one port needleassistedtechnique. After identification of apatent processusvaginalis, the internal ringis encircled in an extraperitoneal plane usinga 22G-Touhy needle for placement of apurse-string suture, tied extracorporally, andburied beneath the skin. The technique wasstandardized for second group cases. Inguinalhernias were laparoscopically repaired in19patients (16 boys and 3 girls) age range1year to 16 years. All 19 cases had bilateralrepair. Mean operating time for bilateral was45 min. No complications in second group.For the first group we had 18 boys and 5girls same age range. Mean operating time1hour 20min.8 minor complications wereidentified(8 swelling) and 1 recurrence. Postoperativedata show our technique is safewith no complication. No recurrence.Results: First group: we had 18 boysand 5 girls,age range 1year to 16 years.Mean operating time1 hour 20min. 8 minorcomplications were identified (8 swelling)and 1 recurrence. Second group: we had16 boys and 3 girls, age range 1year to 16years. All 19 cases had bilateral repair. Meanoperating time for bilateral was 45 min. Nocomplications.Conclusions: In our technique meantime was shorter than in standard opentechnique. Post-operative data show ourtechnique is safe with no complication.No recurrence. Furthermore, laparoscopyobjectively identifies asymptomatic or occultcontralateral defect, uses a smaller incision,and eliminates dissection of the cordstructures potentially reducing the risk ofcord injury.

BackgroundThe target group of the project, working age population, is more vulnerably exposed to the risk factors of NCDs due to deficiency of physical activities, stress, unhealthy eating, etc. The current study was carried out to assess the knowledge and attitude on health promoting workplaces among the employees of public and non-governmental organizations and businesses operating in Kherlen soum of Khentii aimag, identify their needs and make conclusions.Materials and MethodsThe cross-sectional study used questionnaires for 195 employees of 10 public agencies and 3 business entities of Kherlen soum of Khentii aimag, focus group discussions among 32 employees and individual interviews with 13 managing officials.ResultsWomen composed 38% (74 persons) and men composed 62% (121 persons) of the participants of the study. As for the duration of the service, 115 people or 58.7% have served for 1-10 years, 49 people or 25% have served for 11-20 years, 21 persons or 10.7% have served for 21-30 years and 6 persons or 3.1% have worked for 30 years. As for the knowledge of health promoting workplaces, the absolute majority of the participants demonstrated medium or low level of knowledge with statistical significance (p<0.01) among ages, with women demonstrating higher level of knowledge and increasing trend with the years of work. Absolute majority of the participants of the qualitative survey answered that possess insufficient information of health promoting workplaces. Majority or 54.2% (105) of the participants understand health promoting workplaces as provision of working conditions and organization of preventive health check ups. Creating healthy workplaces will have no negativeimpact but increased productivity, higher morale, better wellness, according to the respondents. Job satisfaction as an impact of health promotion at workplace was supported by 48.4% of the employees at 20-30 years age and 54.2% of the employees who have served for 11-20 years. 57.7% (112) of the respondents disagree that their workplaces created health promoting conditions. The knowledge of the majority of the participants in insufficient as 89.3% answer that WHP is provision of healthy environment for working. Health promotion is not implemented sufficiently at the policy level and is limited merely to improvement of physical environment and solution of social problems, with insufficient behavior targeting actions and participation of employees in health promoting activities.Conclusions:1. The knowledge on health promoting workplaces is insufficient.2. The answers of the respondents that lack of health promotion at workplaces will reduce productivity (69.2%) and adversely affect the health of the employees (44.7%) demonstrate the need in WHP.3. The further activities necessary for further development of health promoting workplaces were identified as provision of comprehensive knowledge, cooperation with professional organizations and learn from experiences of health promoting workplace models, mutual learning and solution of the financial issues.
